adding break line to expression - asp.net-mvc

I have an expression statement to display content for a text box for a reportviewer but went blank when trying to add a carriage return or a new line between the two expression. My expression as follows:
=Format(Fields!LastDateVisited.Value, "d")+ " "+Fields!LastVisitType.Value
Instead of the space i want to make it a new line. I tried "\n" but didn't work, any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

You can also use following :
= Fields!FirstField1.Value + System.Environment.NewLine + Fields!MyField2

I think that a end of line character should work: '\n'

in your placeholder properties (Expr page) change the markup type to html

regular expression for removing empty lines produces wrong results

Can someone help me solve the problem I'm having with a regular expression? I have a file containing the following code:
I'm using a visit to find matches and replace them so that I can remove the empty lines. The result is, however, not what I'm expecting. The code is as follows:
str content = readFile(location);
// Remove empty lines
content = visit (content) {
case /^[ \t\f\v]*?$(?:\r?\n)*/sm => ""
}
This regular expression also removes non empty lines resulting in an output equal to:
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong with the regular expression as well as the one shown below? I can't seem to figure out why it's not working.
str content = readFile(location);
// Remove empty lines
content = visit (content) {
case /^\s+^/m => ""
}
Kind regards,
Bob
I think the big issue here is that in the context of visit, the ^ anchor does not mean what you think it does. See this example:
rascal>visit ("aaa") { case /^a/ : println("yes!"); }
yes!
yes!
yes!
visit matches the regex at every postfix of the string, so the ^ is relative for every postfix.
first it starts at "aaa", then at "aa" and then at "a".
In your example visit, what will happen is that empty postfixes of lines will also match your regex, and substitute those by empty strings. I think an additional effect is that the carriage return is not eaten up eagerly.
To fix this, simply not use a visit but a for loop or while, with a := match as the condition.

Search and Replace tab key in Openoffice

I haved wrote a next code to find a replace strings, I need to use this code to find "=" and replace with tab key, I trying with "\t" but this doesn't work, Could you help me please? What is a character tab key for use in macro of openoffice?
Public Function findReplace(oDoc As Object, findStr As String, replaceStr As String) As Integer
oSearch = oDoc.createSearchDescriptor
oSearch.searchAll = False
oSearch.SearchString = findStr
oSearch.ReplaceString = replaceStr
oDoc.replaceAll(oSearch)
End Function
alfetta is right - just enable RegularExpression
oSearch.SearchRegularExpression = TRUE
to have \t as replaceStr working, replacing with a Tab.
You should be able to find a tab with Search and Replace using \t with "Regular Expressions" checked
after starting Find & Replace StrgF

#HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name not showing backslash

Super Simple. Only issues I find are people getting null. Which I obvi fixed. But where is the backslash???!!
params.me = '#HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name';
This returns
"domainUserName" <- Browser
"domain\\UserName" <- Debugging
What I expect is
"domain\UserName" <- Browser
Any ideas?
Based on your comments you are using the following code to show the user name:
alert('#HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name');
#HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Nameis a string that can contain "\" backslash character. This character is considered as a escape character in javascript as it is in C# as well.
You need to escape the "\" character in the string before passing it to Javascript like that:
alert('#HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.Replace("\\", "\\\\")')

How do I know whether I'm looking at a newline or carriage return etc.?

For example, say I wanted to determine whether this form was storing newlines as carriage returns or newlines or whatever characters. I'm often in situations where I'm writing code and am not sure what type of new-line character a file/form/whatever I'm parsing is using.
How could I determine this? Is there a way to determine this without actually doing a check inside of code? (It seems like I should be able to right-click and "show all characters" or something like that).
Note: I realize I could write code saying
(if == '\r') cout << "Carriage";
etc
but I have a feeling there's a simpler solution.
Maybe is list what you are looking for (from vim help):
:[range]l[ist] [count] [flags]
Same as :print, but display unprintable characters
with '^' and put $ after the line. This can be
changed with the 'listchars' option.
See ex-flags for [flags].
You can switch modes with:
:set list
and
:set nolist
Additionally you can use "listchars" as shown in this example:
You could for example check your document for occourences of "Carriage Return" or "New Line"/"Line Feed".
e.g. (php):
if( strstr( $yourstring , "\r" ) != false ){ // You have Carriage return
// Do something
}
elseif( strstr( $yourstring , "\n" ) != false ){ // You have New Line/Line feed
// Do something
}
else{
// You cannot determine which on is used, because the string is single-lined
}
I hope this is the thing you're looking for
Note: In windows "\r\n" is used to specify ne lines

Ruby gsub function

I'm trying to create a BBcode [code] tag for my rails forum, and I have a problem with the expression:
param_string.gsub!( /\[code\](.*?)\[\/code\]/im, '<pre>\1</pre>' )
How do I get what the regex match returns (the text inbetween the [code][/code] tags), and escape all the html and some other characters in it?
I've tried this:
param_string.gsub!( /\[code\](.*?)\[\/code\]/im, '<pre>' + my_escape_function('\1') + '</pre>' )
but it didn't work. It just passes "\1" as a string to the function.
You should take care of the greedy behavior of the regular expressions. So the correct code looks like this:
html.gsub!(/\[(\S*?)\](.*?)\[\/\1\]/) { |m| escape_method($1, $2) }
The escape_method then looks like this:
def escape_method( type, string )
case type.downcase
when 'code'
"<pre>#{string}</pre>"
when 'bold'
"<b>#{string}</b>"
else
string
end
end
Someone here posted an answer, but they've deleted it.
I've tried their suggestion, and made it work with a small change. Whoever you are, thanks! :)
Here it is
param_string.gsub!( /\[code\](.*?)\[\/code\]/im ) {|s| '<pre>' + my_escape_function(s) + '</pre>' }
You can simply use "<pre>#{$1}</pre>" for your replacement value.
